- Damsel Review of Millie Bobby Brown's Dragon Fantasy on Netflix. Normal Fairy tales are about romance and marriage with heroes saving the day. Damsel is a very different story on Netflix, with no damsel in distress messaging. While critics reviews panned the trailer and movie we find out that heroes and chivalry exist for a reason. And Damsel removes all of them. Is Damsel worth watching?

Damsel Review of Netflix's subversive fairy tale where it's ever so proud that chivalry exists in other stories to save the damsel, but not this one! It's the most obvious movie around where you can predict all the bad guys just by looking at the actors. The sisterhood is strong and literally every man gets wiped out by the end. If you want a character that could take on Rey Skywalker in a fight, you've got one here, where the Damsel can magically do any action required to win. No experience necessary here, but for a movie meant to undermine tropes, it's one long cliche. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Need a shirt that says Girl-Boss-ton 😂
@@Quicksymphony ...guys will just come up with "Girl-Bustin'..."
Woman pissing contest: Evil Queen tricks Evil She-Dragon and Evil Princess. Evil She-Dragon and Evil Princess duel who was tricked more. Call it a tie and kill the Evil Queen. Evil She-Dragon and Evil Princess galop into the setting sun.
@@wowado Brilliant!!! 👏 👏 👏 🤣🤣🤣
The most annoying thing about this film is that it’s not as though there isn’t potential in this story and trope subversion. Humanising the villain (the dragon) and communicating with it instead of just killing it because a female character might have a different approach than a man isn’t a terrible idea. Teaming up with it to get revenge at the end? Also, not bad. Her predilection to maps and mazes could have paid off by her charting the dungeon as she explores it. I’d say it’s a waste but this project was doomed from the start with these writers.
My 13yo daughter had a bday party sleepover at a friend's place over the weekend with a few friends and they watched this. When she got home she mentioned it so i asked her what they thought about it. Her words "We were rooting for the dragon"
Smart girl.
r/thathappened
@@danielclark-hughes692people like you must think that every human being floats through life never doing or saying anything, seeing as you’ll react to the most mundane of slightly comedic situations with “OH, 🙄 YEA, 🥴 sure, PAL 🤪 because people TOTALLY 🤯 act like people irl 🤓” the inability to believe anything doesn’t make you anywhere near smart
@@danielclark-hughes692Oh my god you got so triggered 😂
Your daughter and her friends showed some dragon balls... LOL!
They all look pretty well fed for coming from a "starving" kingdom...
Lembas bread.
@@carig121 LOL!
Just because the peasants are starving doesn't mean the royalty is starving
Now remember the Hunger Games ... ahaha
And full of sass! You go girl!
Could I just point out that in an attempt to break the Damsel in Distress trope, they actually created a Damsel in Destress.
The Sister.
And yet... The sister was more interesting character
XD
But she wasn't saved by a man god forbbid no, she was saved by a woman
HAHAHAHA
@@mariazedek1157 And the movie passes the Bechdel test, too!
They could have made it so a man is the damsel in distress, but nooooo they couldn't even stand that, all the men had to *DIE*
So not only did she not forgive her father, she literally chose not to attempt to save his life with magical slugs. Considering they were powerful enough to heal the dragon's eye after getting a sword through it, it's hard to imagine not at least trying it.
yea that is pretty bullshit on her part, especially when its clear he came to rescue her.
And then she invites the Dragon who killed her father - slowly and painfully - to live with them? Dinners will be awkward...
Solid point. Not only that, she discovers a miracle of medicine in medieval times. Does she take them back to her kingdom, maybe tell the world of the basically magic healing slugs she's found? Naah, 's good. Just leave them with the dead and dying under the incinerated pile of rubble. Man, this movie gets worse the more thought you put into it, doesn't it?
Facts! I forgot about that! What a _____. So all the men get what they've "got coming". 😂
well she is obviously devoid of any compassion
Dragon's only weakness is 5'3" teenage girl
Who knew?
Considering they always seem to want one as a sacrifice, I guess we ALL should have known.
Idea for a movie: Dragon in Kingdom demands his usual sacrifice of young womam every year. The classic. Dragon is indeed strong and nobody can touch him. They tried for years.
Plan to train up young girls into assassins as only they get close enough as sacrifice. Trained from 6 years old into some murderous killing machines. Movie follows the one that seems the one with the most potential. Done.
All the empowerment. Enough logic to be at least feasable.
If she could pull off a spell like "dragu-slave/dragon-slave", sure than it would make sense.
With a sword even, not sure what that's going to do besides tickle it.
@@2nd_DirectorateAnd how are you going to kill a dragon without some serious hardware that you can't actually hide? You can't exactly smuggle a barrel of gun powder up your snatch. You'd need some siege equipment or some hefty magic if we're going full fantasy. You just added more girl bosses to the mix.
I have to give it to them. When a dragon that isn't immune to fire isn't the dumbest thing in your movie, you're definitely going places.
Is your skin, the parts you can touch, immune to gastric acid? No, well then... I guess you the human is a plot hole as well.
@@Lobos222 Dragons don't digest things they eat with the help of fire, or rather they don't have fire in their stomachs to digest things with. I understand your point that yes the juices inside me can hurt my outside but also I can't really die from an acid burn because of my own puke.
The point I'm trying to make is that in almost all fantasy, dragons are immune or at the very least, very resistant to fire. It's really really dumb to kill a dragon with it's own fire unless you tell the audience in a clever way why the dragons can be hurt by their own fire (magic maybe)
@@spongerobert So, i'm no fantasy dragon expert lol but I think it depends how the fire is created. Like there are some dragons that have gas come up their throat and then it ignites in their mouth or near it and they're usually not invulnerable to fire. In fact, it's an effective way to kill it. This dragon's fire seemed liquidy and heavy. If it's liquidy it'll stay on longer. It won't just brush off the scales which works if the fire can't penetrate the dragon scales when quickly brushing across it. Heavy liquid at that temp will probably do some damage.
@@thitpoulsen352 In DnD dragons don't always use fire but whatever they use they're always almost immune to their own damage. In some fantasy stories it's said that if you were to force it's fire breath back down it's own throat it would explode or like in Reign of Fire they killed the dragon with explosive tipped bolts fired down it's throat.
The long and short of it is that if it wasn't resistant to it's own breath it would literally hurt itself all the time while doing dragon stuff especially in the case where it uses sticky napalm because it's bound to splash back.
@@spongerobert I suppose that makes sense. I have no idea what the rules are for DnD dragons, just movies i've previously watched.
Technically Captain Marvel is the biggest girl boss to have girl bossed too close to the sun. She literally flew into a sun to demand it do better!
You are right, even Damsel isn't so overpowered that the villain couldn't possibly win and Captain Marvel does that in both movies.
But Damsel is succeeding in being more annoying which is impressive, she is Rachel Zegler level of annoying.
Captain Marvel is so wooden that her personality can't be annoying, because she doesn't have one.
Ima let you finish, but beyonce had the best album of all time
@@reallybig4868except for that "country song" she recently put out, that was absolute garbage!
"You've got to step up sun! You've got to do better!" 😂
Her so-called princess voice in this move was SOO CRINGE>
-That's no reason to marry.
It's always nice when your medieval themed movie tells you that we don't know (or care) how royalty and politics work in medieval era.
Also, why is there a black stepmother married to the king in a medieval themed movie? Everyone would be like "why has our king married this outsider?" She doesn't have an accent like they are trying to imply she was born there, where the frick does she come from? Why is no one questioning this like this is normal? In these kinds of shows, having pointy ears will get you eyed down and yet she looks this different from everyone else and clearly doesn't fit in and everyone accepts it?
Wow, the medieval ages was truly an accepting and diverse period in time across Europe, I had no clue.
@@pbradics3670 To be fair, I commented that in the beginning of me watching the video but the point stands.
Bad special effects aside, that race baiting move immediately takes you out of whatever could possibly happen because your brain is already noticing something off. Those black people shouldn't be there, this is medieval Europe essentially, they shouldn't be there, let alone married to a king.
I don't really care to be honest, but those historical inaccuracies mean a LOT when you are making a historical show. I can't get in the idea of watching a historical movie when I'm staring at modern day on screen.
Now, like then, many women marry for money.......sorry, I mean, "security."
If you knew something about the middle ages, you'd know that people were sometimes not happy about being stuck in arranged marriages, hence why romances of courtly love (adultery) were around
You can leave out 'in medieval era'. It's still a thing.
Honestly, the concept of a princess who was supposed to marry a prince only to be sacrficed isn't a bad idea. It was just executed so poorly.
very mcuh so. her trying to find a way out makes sense. erfusing to accept her fate.
but then you have the asinine thing like letting her father die when he litreally came to save her. And her somehow overpowering the dragon that crushed armies.... and said dragon being vulnerable to her own fire....
It isn't sooo bad an idea that the dragon isn't inherently malevolent, its spite towards the family that killed her children vs anything else. though it killing the peeps and her father is a plot hole cause she shoulda been like 'why are you here. you do not smell like them.'
It was already a thing in greek mythology. It should have worked.
I liked the idea of the princess befriending the dragon, but again, bad execution.
@@taddad2641 Not inherently malevolent? She's been killing innocent women for, what was it, centuries, three times a year? (Like holy fuck, do the dragon think humans are rabbits or something; where do you get three adult daughters every bloody year, from?) And I'm not talking about trick the family played; even if they had sacrificed actual members of the family; those girls would have had nothing to do with what the king did; even punishing the king by killing those daughters (still evil, mind you) has been dead for centuries, you can't punish him anymore; so it's been killing the innocent regardless of the trick.
@@3dmaster205i thought it was three daughters per generation, idk they couldve said per year tbh i wasnt watching that closely
“There are many good movies in this world.. This is not one of them” is all I heard a few minutes in
All I ever hear now is "I'm a woman"
Damsel was theater quality! So good I called people to tell them about it. I'm not a fan of dumb girl boss pandering, but this had good story, good acting, and awesome dragons. Granted, the marvels sucks. Damsel did a good story right (even if a bit heavy handed with the brothers grimm tragedy style) , sometimes it's fun to have clear good and evil without shades of grey.
@@matthewbaker320 I think you need glasses if you saw the movie as not having some serious moral grayness if not being unintentionally dark vs dark. The film literally ends with the castle and presumably its inhabitants being reduced to ashes. How many of those people weren’t involved at all?
"...good movies...this is not one of them"...Super good comment!
How high on Crack were you when you watched this? @@matthewbaker320
The prince yeeting her into the chasm = 🤣😂
The yeet was one of the best parts of the movie. After watching the movie, I'm sure more than half the audience wanted to yeet her into the chasm.
based
He was done with her bullshit too.
Needs to be shown on a loop during credits.
I knew the "dragon" would survive as soon as I realized it had a female voice.
Yup, and I've imagined the nowadays style ending and I was right.
and that they would team-up
"Disparu, How many times are you gonna show that clip of the Princess being sacrificed?"
Disparu: "Yes."
Disparu: "It's the audience ditching the girl boss and movies to its box office flop deaths."
There is no “girlbossing too close to the sun”. They should keep girlbossing themselves all the way into its chromosphere.
Pretty soon we will be girlbossing throughout the cosmos until we encounter a cosmic horror who strikes us down for our hubris like Icarus.
If it's the case, it's just that the sun is sexist
@@X-atm092holy fuk
I guess this is enough internet today
the chromosphere might not be hot enough for a real girlboss...
Best take it all the way to the core.
@X-atm092 just wait, its coming down the pipeline. Ryleh will basically be turned into a goth hair salon
When Damsel got the sword and yelled at the dragon: "It's damselin' time!!!", man, I really felt that
Elo didn't get the di though
Truly a movie of all time.
I was honestly expecting her to say "I am all the princesses!!".
I rooted for the dragon the whole time; when it was almost killed instead of Damsel, my day was ruined.
The dragon did nothing wrong.
Dragon was dope looking and sounding, ngl. Shame it was wasted on this dreck.
Nah, dude. I wanted to scream when it wasn’t. Yea, the dragon was by far the coolest character, but from a moral perspective, it should’ve been killed. Elodie could’ve stopped the cycle of death right then and there, protecting the lives of the kingdom (like the king intended when he went to kill the fire breathing force of destruction), and saved herself and her sister. The dragon chose to take vengeance for the death of her innocent kids by…killing innocent kids, instead of taking the life of the guy actually responsible for their deaths. _It didn’t matter that the princesses she killed weren’t the actual daughters of the king, because even if they were, they were innocent._ Elodie is a complete, sociopathic jerk. I wanted her _and_ the dragon dead.
The dragon is alive at the end of the movie...
When did the dragon die?
The last time Millie Bobby Brown faced a Dragon, Godzilla had to rescue her.
I don't think Netflix remembered that... 😂
Dude. Good one.
She was in those terrible movies?
@@SwiftNimblefootNah king of monsters was good. How Godzilla should be.
At least it was more convincing...
Y'd think the King would mention "I am not THIS country's king, and this is my daughter, not the local king's who is actually lying to you". But the plot demands we save this revelation to the end for the princess to tell to the Dragon, so... this is left out. Also, why did none of his knights bring shields against a FIRE breathing Dragon? What was really his plan?
Yeah, so many basic logic plot holes
I'm also interested in the lack of bows and/ or spears... a sword would be my last choice of weapon when I know I'm going to be fighting a dragon.
@@BullDogBreed75 A sword would be my last choice of weapon when I know I'm going to be fighting anyone. Every army used some form of long pointy stick as their main infantry weapon until widespread use of firearms. And even then they had pointy sticks attached to their firearms.
Night 1, sees ritual
Night 2, is in ritual
Night 3, escapes cave
Night 4, fight dragon
She last ate food on night 2 and still became more capable as time passed.
Not only eat, water, only water, she have was the ice drops, and she become also like you said more capable
And on Night five the kingdom had already lined up another marriage. So that prince was walking another princess around while the dragon set off the fire storm!!!
The power of intermittent fasting (unplanned, isolated, in a dragon cave variation)
that's Hollywood script-writing, baby!
You can be surprisingly active on an empty belly when your life is on the line.
"Do you listen to your heart?"
"Yes."
"What does it say?"
"Thuump.... thuump... thuump..."
Or as Captain Bertorelli would say, "It 'da says 'boom-diddy-boom-diddy-boom!"
her heart beats like a drum, like a drum, dum dum dum
So, apparently none of the dozens of princesses that were sacrificed in this pit never told Avasarala that they are not the real deal? And the dragon was never suspicious why the royal family seem to switch races and apperances so drasdtically every generation?
to a dragon, they might not realize humans have different races, that is something humans spot cause we see humans so often. Humans arent used to seeing chimp faces, google different chimps and lined up they all look different, but in the wild we could easily mistake them too. every animal is used to their own kind like this, fun fact
@@Phoe8D Fair enough. But the other point still stands. Lots of sacrificed pirecesses have stayed for quite some time in this caves and the dragon comminicates with them on a rergular basis as it seems. And quite a lot of them have found the safe room, they could draw a map of the caves and put down their names etc.. So at least some of them should have tried to tell the dragon that they were betrayed by the royal family themselves. Even if the dragon dont believe them at first - at least i would become suspicious at one point if the princesses keep telling the same story.
@Phoe8D More like a brown and spotted hyena. And yes anyone with eyes can tell the difference. Main reason - markings, a.k.a hair and skin colour
"I would trade her for a KitKat"
That should be on a t-shirt 😂
Lol it should!
My son at one point said "so she beat the game, then starts over, just to do side missions at full power". Never. Been. Prouder.
She was running in God Mode with cheat codes
Based! Your son rocks!
@@darktenor4967please 😂
Even the most “based” people still support ghey marriage
I remember when it wasn’t marriage and now hella based people are like “trans activism has gone too far”
“Oh ghey marriage? Yes that’s cool” 😂
After being thrown off a 200 foot cliff, attacked by a dragon, and crawling through a bunch of tiny, cramped tunnels I'm pretty sure I'd be ready to talk to worms too.
I’m so tired of the “ rebellious princess doesn’t want to marry for political convenience” trope. In medieval times (and even later through to the 19th century), princes and princesses knew that marrying for political reasons was their primary role. They would have been taught to know and accept that duty as a given from a young age, and refusing to marry who your parents told you could cause strife, wars, and hardships for the people they were supposed to rule.
There are families of narcos that shape alliances through marriage and so. Where there is power there is the desire to maintain it and if possible to increase it.
Moreover, _everyone_ back then did arranged marriages for sake of profit (whether political or economical). It's only recently that humanity got so much better off that they no longer need to use their own children to bargain for resources needed for survival…
Actually, she was willing to marry the prince for her people. That's not an issue in this movie. The prince betrays her after they get married.
@tomriddle164 after telling her sister it's wrong, complaining to her mother, and grilling her soon to be with multiple condescending questions right after admitting she got guilt tripped into it. The original comment is about how they are taught to accept it as their duty for a lifetime of lavishment
The trope is not only done, it's fucking retarded. Princess dosn't want to marry for political convenience? The fuck is she gonna do? It's the fucking Middle Ages! The only social security she can have is by building a family with strong ties and have family members with lots of wealth. Even as a noble woman she will have to manage her estate and the moment she gets old and dosn't have people to protect her, it will be taken from her, because it's the fucking Middle Ages and people are in survival mode. What is she gonna do when another Nobel starts a fight with her over some trivial bullshit to extort her and she dosn't have men to fight for her? Hire some Mercenaries? And who will protect her from the Mercenaries looting her Estate and raping her?
The ability of modern heroines to pull abilities and powers out of, presumably, their lady bits is astounding. If only that included likeability or logic or a script not written by an AI focused on diversity.
I don't get why they think women they portray as physically and mentally superior to any man is someone other women can warm to but they also make them bitchiest, moaniest, self centred horrors on the planet. No woman, well no one at all for that matter, would want anything to do with her. Can't help wondering as well, when she was doing the let's walk out of the fire ravaged castle bit - where's her sister and her step mum? I assume around somewhere - or not.
I’ve had Fallopian tubes all my life, but I’ve never been able to pull any superpowers from them. I feel cheated! Though, people do tend to like being around me.
@LillyLou I’m a white dangly bits, where’s my Hollywood evil superpowers and privilege? I think… I think… Hollywood lied to me!
I like how the movie gaslights us into believing the old king was evil and killed the dragon's for sport. If they'd revealed that the dragon was peaceful and wanted nothing to do with humans, then I could buy the king being evil. But the dragon chases and tortures our heroine so I have a hard time believing that it wasn't killing and eating people before the king decided to do something.
We have one line from the dragon saying it was "unprovoked," which could be a bald-faced lie, or the dragon just not understanding that hunting and eating humans is a good to provoke humans
@@Graycata Basically we in the comments are putting far more thought into this movie than the writers did.
Pretty much sounds like the Snow White script, "she's not going to be saved by the prince..."
tyrone gonna fill that gap in logic
I remember a text game called "Adventure" from my childhood.
A dragon blocks the exit of the cave
> Kill the dragon
With your bare hands?
>Yes.
Congratulations, you have killed the dragon.
Killed the dragon with laughter
Good game
So...the dragon can smell that.0001% of her blood that is her husband's family, that convinces her that Elodie IS a member of that royal bloodline. Then the dragon meets and (presumably) smells Elodie's father, and can't figure out that Elodie ISN'T part of the royal bloodline...
And unless the Queen is also a member of the royal bloodline (incest anyone), the sister won't smell like the royal bloodline at all.
And then the dragon can smell her, and she is near and cant find her, or that a sound make it think she is far away when her nose tell her is rigth there, there is another girl that examine it and make a detal examine of the dragons eyes, wich are more of a goat than a predator, or animal that hunt but the thing it bothers her, was that if the draogon has those eyes, she should see in panoramic vision nearly 180 degrees, not cone shape, and suddenly Elodie is next to her eye, and the dragon didnt see her, the only reaosn the dragon loose is because they nerf all her ability
The king is not from the 'cursed' family bloodline, therefore it is the queen and her son, who can mark the princesses. This is why the dragon is not bothered by the smell of Elodie's dad's blood and the fact he is not part of the 'cursed' bloodline.
@@Krysnha Exactly. The thing with dragon's smelling ability is not logical. How much of that royal blood could stay on princesses after the ceremony? The wound seems deep, so how come it healed so fast without any protection from a dirt etc.? How come the dragon couldn't notice the wounds on other parts of princesses' bodies does not contain the smell of the royal blood? And as for finding location of the princess using smell sense, the caves are generally occupied by the dragon and bugs. Any new smell should stand out as hell.
@@allespomidores2845 indeed, also there was a video of another youtuber that talk about the eyes of the dragon, about the dragons eyes are more of a herbivore than of apredator, for example the eyes of the draongs are the ones of a goat or a more horizontal, a cat or predator like eagles, are vertical, she talk about the perspective and motive of it, the dragon has horizontal eyes outside what it is predator or prey those eyes will give it 180 paromanic vision, so how Elodie manage to sneak to him, beyond the smell, the moment she even aproach to her from behind she should smell her, not even see her.
The movie grab the dragon and nerf it to no end, also once again point out, how in the f one minute she is sad because of a bird being fry and she has no mercy for a horse, also she never forgive her and has no mercy for the people in the kingdom outside the royal family, nor she doesnt care her own kingdom, she is a fking btch not a heroine
I actually have a theory for this one. This is why they needed princesses for the ceremony instead of just having a harem, or just throwing random peasant girls in the hole. She was of nobility, the mixing of blood in the hands was just to make it a little more familiar.
I doubt it's the case but I like the theory
Holy crap! They actually used the Galadriel climbing a rock wall with a knife concept! Its so creatively bankrupt they are using another failed shows "powerful woman" moment.
And the part of Galadrauron surviving fire into her head unscathed. I guess thr cliches are setting as there are not many new things a Mary Sue can face as alegory of the patriarchy (>_>)zzzZ.
Don't forget they literally ripped off Die Hard with the tight tunnel crawl just before that XD
If Netflix had a "Watch with Disparu Commentary" option, their movies would get exponentially more views.
I think I'd choose that option all the time
Exponentially what a word!!! And yes so true! Word of the day goes to the guy/girl with the longer name than mine.
I have just one thing to say about that "based economy"
I'd subscribe if that was an option.
that might be a good move actually. Like the arena of old. We make it. You tear it. Go on boys!
Dumb question but... did they take some treasure with them? Because when they get back they still have a dirt poor kingdom that cannot feed its people, have cut down all the trees, and still havent learned how to manage a kingdom in the first place. They are scrood.
They probably took the royal families riches and position.
Don't worry, now they have a dragon to help them maraude the neighboring nations and become an evil empire.
@@nickelakon5369
I doubt any riches were taken. That Castle was scorched pretty quickly and she obviously is walking out with none of it
When the dragon said "Elodie, I am your mother..." It put literal shivers down my spine
With a damsel in distress usually the hero saves people but with the sisterhooding girlboss she definitely had the dragon kill more women in that castle than it did in the cave
Now that I think about it, she's probably half dead in that bed of moss at the bottom of the sacrifice pit. Getting eaten by a dragon and all of this is a pain induced hallucination to spare her the reality of being eaten by this flying lizard.
“My word….A BLOODTHIRSTY DRAGON!!!”
“Oh woah for us warriors, is there not a dainty, female child whom can protect us from this fierce demon!!”

@@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access No, brave knight of vast physical strength, do not seek to contend with the beast!

No wonder Hollywood writers are terrified of AI replacing them.
Movie script - AI replaces Hollywood writers... discovers it can use money to buy more CPU's, RAM, and of course electricity... and... that audiences want good stories, and...
Moviegoers and AI lived harmoniously ever after.
This mixing of historical and modern perspectives on arranged marriages is a nonsensical paradox. Even if the bride-to-be had issues with it, it wouldn't come from a self-assured modern perspective on it (marriage wasn't based on love). It's a character with centuries further cultural developments behind her, plopped in among characters in their own era, just to serve some nonsensical masturbatory empowerment fantasy.
The common, running thread of every single DIE film.
'I cannot comprehend any perspective other than my own'
This is one of the main issues I had with many ‘classic’ Disney films once I got old enough to give them any real consideration. Almost all the princesses from the 90s have modern-day sensibilities in a time when said sensibilities wouldn’t be able to exist.
@FuSato_NanananaJasmine comes to mind where she refuses all suitors when in reality she wouldn't be in a position to have any say. Also Mulan 2 where China would actually burn because Mulan convinces the princesses to ditch their duty to go marry the comedy relief soldiers of the first Mulan.
@@angrytheclown801 Yeah it would have made more sense if she was just suited to Jafar and Aladdin showed up and changed the Sultan's mind after the wish with Genie. Plot would have basically been the same. But at the same time it was a plot point that Jafar was magically manipulating the Sultan to make sure he would be the one to marry Jasmine soooo...perhaps it was still plausible within the plot that he would agree with her not approving of suitors.
There was a queen from Poland that indeed was quite a big deal for refusing an arranged marriage... But it wasn't for some modern empowerment, it was for good, understandable dislike of Germans.
So I get the Dragoness wants revenge on the kingdom and that's why she tortures and kills princesses, but... what did those poor birds ever do to her? Moreover, why were these birds nesting en masse inside a cave? Did the writer confuse birds and bats?
Poor birds. What did they even do?
The dragon only seems to care when bad things happen to her/her kind.
Sort of like Reggie Franklin from "the boys"
"Waht do you want to see ?"
"Everything..."
Proceedes to throw her off a bridge...
Masterfull editing there xD
I realllllly want to see a movie like this being made with a well written, reasonable female character as the like .... lackey/side kick/maid/whatever who is a voice of reason but is constantly disregarded because every reasonable suggestion isn't "girlboss" enough and then near the end, the girl boss is killed off and the reasonable side character becomes the heroine.
Sounds amazing for small movie
Beautiful
Try Dragonslayer
DragonHeart 4
Yessss
"I'd trade her for a Kit-Kat" LOL
It's a shame because there is an interesting idea in having a princess in a cat and mouse survival encounter with a dragon. They could have told an interesting story about duty, hardship, naivete, and growth. Because the story was built from the ground up to fixate on being feminist, she's isn't allowed to be a character, just a power fantasy that even more shallow than the men this movie claims to subvert.

Someone who knows a teensy bit about historical clothing: The "dagger" inserted into her clothes is probably a busk, which was something used to help with posture and bust support, but because it's worn close to the skin it's usually just a flat stick made of wood and absolutely cannot be sharp.
also, if the dragon's claws can pierce plate armor, how did mbb survive with like 1-2 layers of cloth

I would honestly LOOOOOOOVE to watch a movie with a strong, masculine man who saves a feminine woman in distress, especially if it’s a woman he already loves who knows he will come for her. That dynamic of protection, rescue, faith, and trust. That would be a good movie. That would be compelling. Watching some stupid girlboss do things that would literally never happen is so boring. So stupid.
Watch Princess Bride
Any film at all showing a man and woman in a loving relationship would be a gargantuan change at this point.
Read The first chronicles of druss the legend.
Hallmark. There’s a reason it’s still around. It’s after Christmas so if you’re lucky it’ll be a mystery one.
I would throw my money at that so fast. Bring back traditional heroic tales.
Her eye makeup looks amazing considering all she went through. Where can I get that waterproof eyeliner/mascara?
It's probably magical worm juice!
And whatever conditioner she uses, apparently it renders her hair fireproof.
I too, need to know! :D
if there's one thing I've never been able to buy it's the Millie Bobby Brown can act in any way outside of a scowl
Maybe her dad needs to smack that look off her face 🤔
She can scowl?
That's just her face.
Yasss, before Hollywood decided she was the next big thing they should have reflected that she became famous for showing little to no emotion.
She is a graduate from the Kristen Stewart school of acting.
Heres a question i had while watch this movie.
Why go through all this trouble finding princesses from other kingdoms and going through multiple weddings in a row when the royal family could pick/kidnap a peasant girl, put her in an fancy outfit, do the blood ritual and then toss her in. Nobodies going to notice three girls going missing every couple decades or however long the sacrifices are needed.
Because unlike the writers, you have a brain...
I've wonder this same question, but it's simple: they won't sacrifice any of their own people. they go after other kingdoms so theirs can still trive.
@@gisela_oliveira The same applies,a peasant from another kingdom would be even easier to take.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 so funny how people will expect so much fomr a female led movie, but i dont think we get this many questioning when is a male led action movie...

Dragons dogma story was pretty crap to be fair
Gameplay was great though imo, let's hope it's not even worse with 2, they already won't allow small characters anymore due to some Woke PC BS and for some reason having a character be 5ft makes it a child and anyone who has a small character or pawn is making loli and is a p3d0
None of this makes sense, just like the movie hahahaha, modern day western companies are cancer
@@noonyabeezniss4911the story is good the presentation of the story however 😮💨
Millie used all her Eleven screaming experiences from Stranger things here.. dayumm
So...her knees were not destroyed when she slid under the dragon's head and stabbed it's chest? That was rock with grit, right???
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Well, she did survive a hundred-foot fall, so I'm thinking she's sturdier than she looks.
We did the whole "princess saving herself"thing like 20 years ago
And more believably.
At least once with _Peach._
They did it with the live action Mulan. It was terrible.
They did it with a Shrek sequel, and despite it not being the best movie, it was way more emotionally impactful than whatever this dreck is.
The plot was that rumplestiltskin came to town, saw Shrek was having a rough time adjusting to the noise and busyness of married parent life, and manipulated him into signing away his current life to go back to the quiet peace he had as a bachelor. This meant he never saved Fiona, of course, so she ended up saving herself and forming an ogre guerrilla war.
Dizzied and disappointed by how much worse the world was after choosing to never meet the love of his life, Shrek goes on a mission to reunite with Fiona (who’d never met him in this reality), share true love’s first kiss, and restore his former life. A whole bunch of silly shenanigans ensue with him encountering this alternate reality’s version of his friends, eventually leading him back to Fiona. Her struggles have left her jaded, however, and she’s uninterested in anything related to romance. Love never saved her, like she’d been promised; she’d had to save herself. Shrek does manage to kiss her about halfway through the movie, but it doesn’t restore the proper world, because Fiona doesn’t love him.
The rest of the movie follows Shrek learning to finally appreciate his loved ones and how much better life is when lived for others instead of spent by oneself, and Fiona learns the same. What that movie taught and Damsel failed to even comprehend, is that even when life fails you-and it will-you should never give up on other people. No matter how easy it may seem to try to shoulder the burdens of life alone rather than enlist the help of those you have convinced yourself you can’t trust, living life alone is never worth it, it won’t make you happy. It’s shocking that a meh sequel to an animated movie that came out over twenty years ago is far, far superior to the work of modern Hollywood in both theming and execution.
Yeah, all these supposedly modern takes on fairy tales/medieval stories were already being done like this in the 90s and 00s. But this is the 2020s, where everything old is new again! lol.
Didn't they sort of do this in Enchanted?
I’ll be honest, the central concept of princesses getting married only for a sacrifice to a dragon is at least something new.
At least she wasn't sacrifice because they upset a particular goddess
Watch 1981's Dragonslayer instead. No girl boss. No prince charming type. Just a powerful elder wizard who deals with the problem with the utmost humility.
My plan: MIND-CONTROL THE DRAGON AND USE IT TO ATTACK ALL THE KINGDOMS!! Then 'slay' it (have it impale itself on my sword) and have all the kingdoms make me EMPEROR!!! (Alondro is best villain with best evil plans)
They made more of them.
vermathrix is the best dragon design on film. and your right, no girl boss, but one cross dresser.
As soon as I saw "1981" I knew this comment was a win.
Shrek is literally the same movie but its actually good.
"My land is a desolate frozen wasteland."
Canada? ;D
It could also be Russia.

Question. If they were throwing princesses and noble woman for centuries how no one noticed? No one asked where did their daughters went ? 💀🤦
In the movie the dad was told before the sacrifice and the marriage
We can assume that all the fathers are tild before the marriage
This also creates questions
What happens if you refuse
If you still accept won't you earn other nations
Because of this why are there no rumors.
3 counties princess's every generation, wouldn't they have formed enough alliances to kill the dragon
I refuse to believe this movie wasn't written by AI
Easy to explain, there was no intelligence (artificial or natural) involved in the script
@@alberto5770 Haha! Good point
What a disappointment, she's so good and beautiful, talented and these godamn activists, intersectional feminists once again have to ruin yet another fantasy movie when we need good traditional escapism more then ever! I am getting sick and tired of these bastards taking romance out of scripts, making the men look like idiots, showing obvious forced mix couples and basically refusing to acknowledge everyday reality anymore! I want good, well written, intelligent movies and TV to be made again with happy straight people in love, for the most part, like in reality and women who while they still can be strong, eventually, need the help of a man! This is one of the reasons why Margot Robbie, Sydney Sweeney and Brown will never be treated the same way as the likes of Julia Roberts, Rene Zellweger, Scarlett or even Jennifer Lawrence in their prime of celebrity. Women aren't buying this alternate reality on film to check stupid DEI/ESG boxes crap and neither are male movie TV fans!
AI are not this bad.
The “I’M A WOMAAAAAN!” song has become the soundtrack to some of the best memes 🥰
So the dragon has such a sense of smell that it can detect the bloodline of the person - hence the need to do the blood bond with Prince Backstab at the wedding - but can't find her when she hides under a rock.
Okay...
Or when she is on the other side of the stone pillar 😂
Indeed, that part bothers me, i mean come on, any one that has or see animals that depends on the smell can detect you by smell, so one minute the dragon can smell a miniscule part of her blood the other cant smell bs
Yup, there is a lot of lacks of logic in this movie.
That dragon had the aim of a stormtrooper whenever she was in danger, it actually got comical after awhile.
The sheer lack of understanding of physics that went into the sand helmet balancing act is just astounding. It would not function as a timer at all... The moment it lost even a tiny fraction of the sand keeping it balanced, it would topple instantly.
It’s got to the point where I’m liking Disparu’s videos before I’ve even watched them
same haha
Yep.
What took you this long? 😁
Well deserved 👏
I have yet to be disappointed
Quick correction there: the "cage" that was put around the princess isn't some sort of symbolism but an actual thing that noble women had to wear
all hate aside, Shohreh Aghdashloo voicing the dragon is the best bloody choice, i love every voice roll she does.
The Prince is the older brother in Jurassic World. Took me a minute 😂 but I figured it out. It was driving me nuts! 😭
He also was in the biopic, Silk Road as the guy in charge of making the site.
He must seriously say yes to anything.
Remember when she chopped wood? That prepared her for everything she had to do in the cave and fighting the dragon. No rope climbing, sword fighting, MacGyvering montage needed. 👍
I guess the daddy Dragon went out to get milk before the babies hatched 😂😂
Plot twist: The first king was the father and just wanted no semi-human-semi-dragon-children :D
Guess his name is Miles, or Tyrone.
The dragon said daughters, so they were cooked anyways
Her knees would've been so messed up sliding into that dragon like that, unless ... anyway dragon
Combat tested knee pads?
@@Rcpdude Maybe, but she would’ve had to have done a lot of tours of duty to work in those knee pads properly
Much like Peter Pan and Wendy, (and the last Indiana Jones film), Damsel is so off putting that it's even hard to watch Disparu's witty takedown. One wonders how the film's makers could sit and watch the daily rushes and not realize what a catastrophe was in the works.
Because they were making this shite for themselves and they have no idea what makes movie, TV Series, ect good.
AKA if a woketardats knew how to make good entertainment, we would know.
This looks willow bad.

A better maiden saves herself from the dragon story is a Russian film called I Am Dragon. It’s more of a romance/drama but the female character is strong without being an eye-rolling girl boss. There is also a sacrificial ritual in there somewhat but it’s done much better. The subversion of the different fairytale tropes are also done much better.
This! I, Dragon is pretty damn good and this is a ripoff, really. The beginning and mid part are waaaay too similar for it to be a coincidence
I was laughing at you pointing out the cone formation of the soldiers going to fight the dragon! I was thinking exactly the same thing at that scene ... that dragon fire is cone-shaped ... making them all a very easy target!! 😂😂 I always enjoy your reviews so much.
Oh gawd, it's Ahsoka all over again! "Let's make a perfect circle small enough for a giant ring ship to hyperdrive past us!"
Does anyone in Hollywood realize that subverting fairy tales aren't new? Because I am fairly certain Rocky and Bullwinkle was doing it with their Fractured Fairy Tales segments back in the 60s.

When the King is dying, why doesn't she go get the worms?!?!? I guess it was a convenient time to forget something so powerful that it could have saved her father.
Because you are the only person caring about her father
because "dangly bits" aren't worth wasting those magical worms on, apparently.
To this point the worms only healed burn wounds so it might be a stretch to think they could heal a broken diaphragm and punctured lungs😂
the worms only heal surfice wonds, shw got them in her burns, but he was already dead, his blood was all over the place.
@@gisela_oliveira Well, we would know that for sure if she at least tried.
Disparu doing god's work again, suffering through hell for our entertainment.
I watched this movie with my wife. It was obviously over the top with girl boss energy, but it was still admittedly fun to watch. The film really wasn’t trying to be a cinematic masterpiece. The best word I could bring up is that the movie was “fun”. Not always endearing, witty, or exceptional… but generic fun. Just me?
"Willow" and "Rings of Power" have a baby!
1-hour Disparu video? I could ask for nothing else to wrap up tonight
I just love that a simple cut of hands made her blood chemistry completely change and the dragon couldn't smell the difference. And like you said the prince had no cut on his hand, maybe he used those glow worms orsomething to heal it lol.
Knights weren't able to descend on a rope but they were great at falling down the stairs of castles so good in fact that the stairs were made appositely for it since a falling knight in full armor made a really dangerous blunt weapon
That is so hilarious it should have happened.
ok the dragons fire can't burn it when it comes out of it's mouth so how exactly does it burn it when it comes back & hit the stronger scales on the outside?
Indeed, why is she fireproof on the inside but not the outside ? Her scales even light up when she breathes magma, so you know it comes out of her throat.
You hear about this movie, and you think it's stupid... but then you watch it... and you realize you really underestimated just HOW stupid it is!
The funny thing about the sisterhood is that no people in general are as cruel to women as other women 😆
Sad part is the idea and premise had lots of potential but sadly so where it used very badly.
@gorasul12
I have heard this very statement straight from the mouths of women, so this isn't a "men lie about women" or an "internalized misogyny" thing. Women themselves admit they're more cruel to each other than men are to them.
Fantastic how she stood straight up after falling 100 feet 😂😂😂
Funny thing, the only good characters with depth are the side characters. The main character's dad tries to save his kingdom by marrying his daughter to another rich kingdom, but finds out that she will be a ritual sacrifice. He acknowledges that he can't stop the process, so he sets out to secretly rescue her, but dies in the process. The first king, attempting to save his kingdom from an ancient monster, fails and is forced to make a devil's bargain by sacrificing what's close to him to save many. Somewhere in the process, the rich kingdom becomes a matriarchy and decides to trick the devil (dragon) by sacrificing foreign princesses. However, the dragon finds out and kills the whole kingdom in revenge. Setting aside the main character because she is really one-dimensional, the whole story is about not trying to trick the devil as it will come back and bite you in the ass. I know the matriarchy aspect is not the key element, but from this perspective, it's funny how you can interpret the story as such. They want to show that the cunning villain is a woman, inadvertently creating this interpretation.
Edit:
They tried to make an empowering movie but accidentally made a film with either evil or one-dimensional women and two men with an actually interesting premise.
It's actually worse than that: it's entirely likely that the production team wanted a takeaway of it to be "oh, this super prosperous kingdom is ruled by women while the struggling one is ruled by men" and ended up forgetting that that means just about every selfish/evil decision in the movie is made by female characters while most of the self-sacrificing/altruistic decisions are made by male characters. It's honestly baffling because they went so far on the feminist power fantasy angle that they don't seem to realize they end up painting a picture of women as selfish and willing to trick others into sacrificing what they care about so they themselves don't have to...
Did you watch the film. the first king killed the dragons children. He caused everything.
@Lola-qy9yt bc one dragon raiding and burning their kingdom was already enough, they were there to kill the dragons, why would they not kill the dragons?
@@Lola-qy9ytYou... *do* realize that dragons being a threat to nearby humans is a common thing in many fantasy settings, right? In most cases the only thing fans of the genre would fault the king for would be not doing the job right and failing to kill the adult dragon. He made that decision, his successors made the decision to trick uninvolved kingdoms into sending them their daughters to sacrifice to the dragon rather than continuing to sacrifice the king's descendants. No attempts to trap the dragon, no attempts to kill it, nothing like that. Just immediately went to "let's try to con this dangerous creature that's intelligent enough to make this pact in the first place and hope that none of the people we feed to it reveals the trick." And let's not forget that their entire con only works so long as the other kingdoms don't wise up to what's going on and do what the MC's father did and try to save their daughter or, worse for the kingdom, stop sending their daughters into marriages as a pretext for ritual sacrifice.
The first king started the whole issue, sure, but you'd have to be crazy to trust a flying, firebreathing lizard that has the power to destroy a kingdom to *not* attack you without provocation at some point. His only real crime was being stupid and not doing it right.
@@Lola-qy9yt I could dissect the topic myself, but I think this person @sentinel7672 did a pretty good job, so I'll just point you to their comment

Apparently in the newer American Godzilla movies.
The bit that finally broke be into a puddle of tears was when the dragon transformed into a Barbie convertible and they drove out of the cave together spraying all the males with liquid fire, even the farmers in the fields. So stunning and brave.
Dragon : "Why are you here?"
King : "I heard it was a good place to pick up married women."
